Default *** '71 Olds Cutlass S/X ***
My wife and I are heading to Vegas to attend the 2012 Barrett Jackson Car Auction. My friend & his wife are tagging along. He is looking for an Olds 442 to replace the one he had back in the day. Just came across a '71 Olds S/X on the BJ website that is on the docket scheduled to hit the block. I never heard of one. Anybody know anything about these??? Thanks BK3

In a nutshell its a factory 442 put into the Cutlass Supreme body style.Very rare car if its truly a S/X.

Why would anyone pay the crazy fees and mark up to buy at a Barret Jackson auction? Does your friend have money to literally throw away?

What a beauty - what size engines did these come with??? I am guessing a 455.
